JEU COURT-JEU LONG

"<< Background >>We decided to apply for this project in consultation with ours Serbian partner. For sévères years we had been collaborating on an education project through sport, particularly football, and the opportunity to join the Erasmus plus program allowed us to promote, strtructure and develop our initiatives, particularly the mutual understanding between the young members and éducateurs of the USEPMM club, young People from Roma communities in Belgrade, and the social educators of the CIM association. Since 2019 , we have been able to get to know each other and exchange idées via video call between our young People, implement awareness-raising activities in France and fundraising and equipment programme formation clubs membres.In addition, two éducateurs were able to travel to Serbia and,together with local educators, define the needs and objectives set for the "" SHORT GAME-LONG GAME"" project. Implement initiatives that allow young people from our two organisations to meet and getter to know each other.Introduce Serbian educators to the social and sports environment in France. Give our educators the opportunity to expérience a social environment. << Objectives >>First of all,our educational concern was to open up the social and solidarity horizon to our members and more particularly to young people aged 11 to 15 Who were likely to understand the European dimension. The particularity of the public with whom we envisaged the project (childrens from roma communities living in very precarious conditions)and the functioning of the C.I.M association ( engaged in emergency approaches :food, health and material aid, accès to schooling ,prévention and sécurité...)allowed us to develop a New action programme (education through sport) for wich our partner express a demand.Our educators working in a specifical field and in their comfort zone were enthusiastic about the idea of getting involved with a different public and alongside educational partners with whom they couleur exchange new practices and expériences. Finaly through exchanges (written, face to face,vidéo, andin-person) between our young people, we aimed to raise awareness among familier and institutions of the need for openess to Europe through the universality of sport.The overall results shows that this objectives have been largery acheved. << Implementation >>We can distinguish a focus of actions :""discovery and exchanges"" with young people from both countries, a section of meetings, discussions and programming between educators from both organizations and a sporting and cultural event in Serbia, a true illustration of everything that has been done upstream.The ""SHORT GAME-LONG GAME"" theme was illustrated through actions carried out by our young players :awareness-raising activities in the city’s elementary and module schools and collecting sports equipments for our partner .Several videcalls with the young roma allowed them to better understand each other .The dissémination of messages by ""ambassadors ""(players from the soccer class) to their team mates allowed themto be identified stake holders in the project. The exchange between educators, the true leaders of the pro,was essential for its sustainability.The visit of the Serbian educators to France allowed them to discover New teaching practicies and meet institutional and sports policy and the social environment. The USEPMM educators ́trip to Belgrade présenter them with New challenges and objectives. << Results >>The summer 2024 Friendship Olympics brought together 100 children and 50 adults from diverse backgrounds: street children from Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia, young people from the Île-de-France region from the French Popular Relief children from Belgrade refugee camps, children from the USEPMM (French National Sports Club), and their respective educators. This week provided an opportunity to assess the success of everything undertaken in advance. The encounters between young people, the discovery of different living conditions, and the language barrier never hindered friendship and the pursuit of shared enjoyment. The young people were able to discover new activities together, practice at different levels but always in service of one another, discover or introduce themselves to new cultures, and meet renowned athletes who embody inspiring sporting and educational values.The educators reaped the benefits of collaborative work in planning activities, developing a shared understanding of the various audiences, preparing the young people for the event, and working toward close collaboration to ensure the sustainability of the sports and educational project. The success of this initiative validates the progress made open up to futur."
